Chapter 966: Confronting the Wild Wolves

The endless reed fields were ruthlessly cut by the fierce sound blades, creating a flat, open space two hundred meters in diameter. At first glance, it was utterly unsightly and unpleasant to behold.
Kai Xin wasn’t entirely sure of the exact location of the musical sound, but upon seeing this area, he quickly sped up.
For some reason, the power and presence he sensed made him unconsciously recall the day when the Yangzhou branch was attacked by Yipin Tang and Lingxiao Palace.
In REP, Fengling had used a forbidden technique to help the Mu family’s members kill as many enemies as possible. Due to her lack of control over that power, her strings broke, her instrument shattered, and she died.
The terrifying power he sensed now was clearly ten times, even a hundred times stronger than that time—this made Kai Xin’s heart tighten with anxiety!
Although he didn’t believe anyone else in the Central Plains would dare challenge the disciple of Bai Xiaosheng, his intuition told him something was wrong. He accelerated to his peak speed with the “Dongxu Step,” flying above the reed fields at top speed toward that unsightly spot.
Kai Xin had sharp eyes… He immediately spotted a woman sitting in that huge open space, looking weak, pale, and listless.
Fengling!
Though her demeanor was completely different from Fengling’s gentle and comedic personality in the other world—more cold and imposing, lacking her youthful softness and instead carrying a murderous aura—Kai Xin still recognized her at a glance. She was the woman who favored plain white dresses.
Glancing around, Kai Xin quickly noticed two corpses lying not far from Fengling—more accurately, bloody and mangled remains—likely the enemies who forced Fengling to use her forbidden technique.
“…Damn!”
When he saw a man drawing his sword and slowly approaching Fengling, Kai Xin sped up even further, darting into the reed fields like an arrow.
Even if he were slow to react, Kai Xin knew the murderous intent on that man’s face was aimed at Fengling!
He had forgotten that he had no connection to Fengling in this world. All he could think of was the image of her carrying an oversized instrument case and sword sheath on her delicate shoulders as she followed the group.
“Stop!!”
His shout rang out like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, bursting into the reed field.
Whoosh!!
The man’s attention was entirely focused on Fengling, so he didn’t notice Kai Xin approaching until he heard the sound of fabric tearing through the air. He was slightly startled, thinking Fengling’s helper had arrived!

Looking back, there was only a strange young man, alone with a sword. His tense expression vanished, replaced by indifference and murderous intent after a closer glance.
One person…
No faction or group affiliated with him. He surely wasn’t from the Bai Xiaosheng faction—just a passerby.
At first, Fengling was delighted upon hearing someone approaching, as if hearing heavenly music. But when she turned, seeing a mere ordinary swordsmaster from the Jie Tuo realm rushing over, not even at a complete level of lightness skills, her heart plummeted again, filled with disappointment.
That man was from the Wild Wolf Organization. Even the top experts in the Central Plains would find it hard to deal with them! Unless a large faction arrived, not only would they fail to rescue her, but they might also lose their lives.
…
“Quick, leave this place!”
“He’s from the Wild Wolves!”
Although Fengling was too weak to move, her sharp eyes and noble demeanor made her unwilling to let him die needlessly because of her. After a pause, she quickly warned them.
The Wild Wolves members hesitated for a moment. But when they heard Fengling warn them to leave, their eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent: “Leave?! We of the Wild Wolf Organization kill without leaving any survivors. Since you’re here, stay.”
As he spoke, he left a fleeting shadow behind and rushed toward Happy at astonishing speed.
…
Unbeknownst to them, Happy had already been on high alert since coming here.
Fengling had spent five years cultivating and had long reached the Wu Wei realm!
Three people were already forcing Fengling to use a forbidden technique that would result in mutual death—a feat even most top experts could hardly accomplish!
Along the way, various thoughts flashed through Happy’s mind, and he even began to suspect the Wild Wolves. After Fengling’s warning, his heart sank:
“Sure enough, they’re from the Wild Wolves?”
Though he wasn’t prepared to face the Wild Wolf Organization and hadn’t expected their members to have grown so strong after years—three of them capable of pushing Fengling to such a desperate situation—he didn’t hesitate for a moment.
Since he’d encountered them, he’d fight!
He would eventually have to battle the Evil Emperor, so now, with this opportunity, it was necessary to confront ordinary Wild Wolf members and understand their strength.
Several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. His gaze turned icy cold, and without hesitation, he raised his sword to confront them, shouting, “Whether you’re from the Wild Wolves or mad wolves, since you’ve fallen into my hands, die!!!”

The last three characters carried an astonishingly formidable presence, resembling the mighty surge of a demonic wave. A blinding black flame streaked through the air as it rushed toward the man from the Wild Wolves.
“Hmph!”
The man’s eyes grew even more contemptuous:
“A mere ordinary first-grade weapon of the fourth tier. Its swordsmanship isn’t even at the peak of perfection. How dare such a weakling act arrogantly in front of me? Truly ignorant and fearless.”
He sidestepped Happy’s grand and open sword moves with ease, suddenly accelerating and closing in on him in an instant.
His dark long sword, emitting a bone-chilling cold glow, instantly formed six sword shadows, blocking all possible escape routes. In just one move, Happy found himself in peril.
“As expected of someone from the Wild Wolves, an international mercenary—indeed cautious.”
Happy sighed in regret. He had deliberately shown a clear weakness to lure the opponent into attacking, only to find that the opponent still chose a versatile move that could both attack and defend, rather than a fatal strike. Despite his disappointment, Happy’s movements didn’t slow down in the slightest.
A golden bell floated into view and crashed violently into the six simultaneous sword slashes.
“Bang!!!”
With a loud noise, the sword slashes shattered, and the golden bell vanished—although the Golden Bell Shield was a protective technique at the Creation Realm level, its secret art allowed it to counter the opponent’s attacks before they could be fully unleashed.
“Huh?”
Happy’s move clearly took the opponent by surprise. He hadn’t expected his seemingly surefire attack to be broken so easily.
Swish!
With a swing of his sword, he created seven black lotus flowers in an instant as a counterattack.
“…”
This scene even stunned Wind Chime. After witnessing Happy’s “astonishing” move earlier, she had prepared herself to close her eyes and avoid watching him die. But it seemed this guy had some mysterious fighting style, and he used the Golden Bell Shield’s secret art so skillfully that he even forced the man from the Wild Wolves to retreat a few steps.
“Interesting.”
After being forced back, the man sneered coldly, “I’ll finish you in three moves!!”
A wild gust of wind suddenly erupted from his body!
Boom!!!
Centered around him, an astonishing aura burst forth from his body! Reeds everywhere were blown into the air by this powerful gust, instantly covering an area of dozens of meters.
Vision was blocked!
The powder blew into their eyes like lime dust.
“Hm?”
Happy was clearly stunned, his eyes feeling uncomfortable. At the same time, a warning signal rang loudly in his mind! Without time to think, the powder in front of him turned into a giant vortex, from which a fierce sword intent radiated out.

A moment of hesitation—yet the fierce blade intent already struck Happy head-on; there was no way to avoid it…
Golden Body Arhat!!
In this critical moment, Happy quickly activated the Golden Body Arhat technique. His skin hardened instantly, and an astonishing willpower surged within him. The sharp blade intent hit him almost at the same time…
The force it exerted was so intense it nearly made him vomit blood; yet Happy managed to evade this fatal attack!
Seemingly surprised that his blade had been blocked, a slight gasp sounded once again from the opponent in the air—the attack had been reflected back at them by the Golden Body Arhat technique.
Between masters, victory or defeat often hinges in an instant; life and death depend on a single thought.
Due to the changing environment and discomfort in his eyes, Happy found himself in grave danger for a moment, but he managed to hold on using his precious Golden Body Arhat technique.
However, the Man of the Wild Wolf was stunned for half a second as his own deadly attack was blocked…
Half a second of shock might mean nothing to an ordinary person, but to Happy, it became the most crucial turning point of this battle!
The Man of the Wild Wolf was far more formidable than the three elders of the Blood Alliance he had faced a few days ago—both in terms of intelligence and strength—he could even inflict wounds with the Golden Body Arhat technique.
Dragon Tail Swing!!
The moment he was pushed back by the opponent’s blade, Happy immediately launched his counterattack. His body moved like that of a divine dragon; with his eyes closed, he rushed into the mist of reeds like lightning.
Bang!!!
A loud impact sound echoed in the air.
The Man of the Wild Wolf was sent flying violently.
Whoosh!!
Carried by a lot of reed dust, he was shot out like a projectile from the swirling reeds. Unable to maintain balance, he rolled for over ten meters before finally jumping up.
From this roll, his imposing armor became covered in reed dust, looking dirty and disheveled…
Not far away, the weak Wind Chime was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
He had thought the one who had been kicked away must be that stranger swordsman at the Liberation Realm level, but unexpectedly…
Just after meeting him, this so-called expert of the Wild Wolf was forced back for the second time, suffering heavy losses.
“Cough!”
Some reed dust accidentally landed on his lips. The Man of the Wild Wolf spat it out angrily, his eyes turning cold and cruel as he stared intently at Happy, who was slowly walking out. It seemed as if an invisible flame was burning within his eyes.
“You’ve provoked me.”
“…” Hearing this, Happy simply shrugged, acting as if he didn’t care. With a completely indifferent expression, he said, “I just can’t stand you bullying women. If you want to fight, I’ll go along.”

“Fighting? Of course we have to fight, but…” The wolf expert said coldly before suddenly changing his tone: “I’ll deal with you after I finish my task.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark, thin beam shot out, aiming straight at the defenseless wind chime not far away!
